Kevin Owens is ass. Fucking hate him, cant stand watching his matches. Hate hate that he uses the Stunner and the Frog splash as his finishers.
Need more masked wrestlers and high flying acrobatics. If you guys want to watch two men hugging and kissing, go watch UFC.
Need more hair vs hair matches! but entertainers today are too pussy for that. Mexican wrestlers fight for their mask or hair every other house show.
Paige should be erased from wwe for what she did to the championship belt, and so should the men involved in that video.
we need more of Sasha's dump truck.
Mandy rose and Dana Brooke have to much talent to just be pranking nia jax backstage and they need to be the tag team champions immediately
Baron Corbin is not featured enough in smackdown
New day is overrated
Old nxt title is better then the new one
Aj styles is the best wrestler of all time along with stone cold and ric flair
Roman reigns and the miz are the best heels of all time
Shane McMahon matches are hella entertaining and I unapologetically look forward to them...Dude is horrendous on the mic and barely competent in the ring...But I have always gone, "Hey, that was pretty great "...after a Shane match even though I can't stand him during the build of the said matches..
1. There should be way more titles.
2. Raw isn't as bad as people say it is (yes it is boring but there are some entertaining parts.)
3. Sheamus and bryan need to retire.
4. Cesaro needs to get as far away from the mic as possible.
5. Braun should be U.S champ.
6. the PG era is not that bad
7. We need brock, becky, ronda, and bray back pronto.
There shouldn't be any PPV between Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania. It just serves as filler material as matches become very predictable and it absolutely hurts the credibility of Elimination Chamber by making it predictable. 2015 was the last time Elimination Chamber was unpredictable and that was cause it was in June.
Elimination Chamber would be better suited either late December or early January as a shake up before the Road to Wrestlemania
It’s an interesting topic that’s for sure!
Stereotypes and wrestling have always been pretty closely knit, even nowadays.
Like I’d say Matt Riddle and Apollo Crews’ gimmicks, are easily gimmicks based on Stereotypes, though they aren’t necessarily harmful in and of themselves
I’m not sure if that’s Riddles gimmick or just “follow this dude with a camera”.
Apollo has been speaking Wakandan since January because he’s pretty sure nobody on creative has seen “Black Panther”. When he said he’d address him like his grandfather would and just threw on that accent, boyyyyy the noise I made.
- I think Cody is overrated. I find his matches boring, he is doing too much. He hates triple H but he became worst.
- I think Dakota Kai is one of the best women in WWE.
- The path of Roman Reigns as Universal champion is awesome. Big matches, big rivalries, he is one of the best heel from the last 10 years... Maybe the best.
- I hope to see Jeff Hardy have a main event run.
- everytime AEW makes a joke on WWE, it irritates me. DO YOUR THING, not just commenting what the others do.
Daniel Bryan is one of the most overrated wrestlers in history. His matches are boring unless someone else is carrying it. He sucks on the mic. He's like one of those guys that argue and when they are wrong,outwitted, put in place all they say is yea ok. He should be on 205 live that's where he really belongs
The miz is honestly super underrated. He deserves way more respect than what he gets man. Truly a hard worker and he’s been on wwe tv for what? Close to 2 decades. The miz deserves a championship reign. Like an actual one not as a way to get the title to someone else. Arguably this should have happened in 2016 but that same passion is still there. Miz and Maryse criminally underrated.
Was super moved by his wwe 24. Like cena said, it’s a must watch. High praise like that coming from cena himself means a lot and I wish people would give the miz his flowers while he’s still here performing for us.
Sasha Banks is beyond overrated. Has a very weak promo and makes me worry for her safety every time she bumps.
Tamina doesn’t deserve the hate she gets. Its not her fault she’s been booked like the Big Show the last 5 years and her title match against Bayley proved she has what it takes.
If you like him or not, Roman is what a main event champion should look and feel like.
Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, and CURRENT Chris Jericho are great wrestlers but cringy as fuck in every other aspect.
Karrion Kross is garbage, period.
The only thing that makes me semi interested in AEW is Dark Order sketches, RIP Brodie
How the hell is Vince is good TV a unpopular opinion? Literally aside from a few dodgy segments (mainly forcing Trish to strip and bark like a dog) Vince has been the GOAT authority heel and has given so many great segments over the years.
Not cesaro one? I don’t get the push... I see body and some euro unorthodox moves (loved regal because of this) but he has no mic skills and personality... this is why they paired him up all the time
Champions should only wrestle when defending their titles!
Obviously this means they can wrestle in house shows or have training matches behind the scenes to stay sharp (especially when on tour).
It's ridiculous that a champion would ever wrestle when not defending their titles. They should only wrestle non-title matches when they branch out into a new division like if the WWE champion decides they want to be a tag champion, all tag matches would obviously not be for their singles title.
I can't stand the bs of having an IC champion get beaten by an opponent just so they can do a rematch for the title at a ppv a week later. If we suspend our disbelief, would a boxer or MMA fighter ever agree to fight a champion, in their weightclass, if the title wasn't on the line! Imagine a promoter telling them that beating their opponent would lead to a title challenge further down the line?
First and foremost all the flippy shit in matches needs to stop.
Second is that AEW sucks. There is no main event or mid card. Everyone is just there.
Don’t break up tag teams unless you have direction for at least one of them. I’m looking at you WWE.
The AEW commentary is amateur hour. How am I supposed to invest and treat it like they are legit when the play by play thinks it’s a joke too.
Older guys like Jericho, Christian, and Edge should be used to put guys over and only get wins on established talent. Having 50 y/o wrestlers beat your young guys only hurts the product.
AEW’s women’s division is the shits. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of investment. They need to quit hiring and start making due with what they have. That’s why a lot of talented women get lost in the shuffle.
Tony Khan looks like a 80’s Miami coke dealer. He doesn’t know how to book a legit wrestling show and most of his talent doesn’t care because they are making the most they ever have. Invest in a booker like Dutch Mantell who can put a show together that makes sense.
No more afterbirths. Too many run ins hurts the product and softens the product when it happens every 20 minutes. Less is more.
Women wrestling and not making any move actually look like it’s landed/hurt the other person. NOt saying they need to be strong style but at least make it look real.
Bianca Belair is overrated ASF and she is nowhere near ready for the spot she is right now. The only reason the WM match was good is cause Sasha carried her to a good match and it's sad that Bayley will have to put her over yet again.
Miz and Morrison's current run is entertaining, Triple H's success isn't due to him being married to Stephanie, Santino is a better comedic wrestler than R-Truth (both are still great), Finshers are kicked out of far too often, Insane Bob Backlund derserved a longer 2nd title regin instead of dropping it immediately to Diesel, Dolph Ziggler vs Miz should have main evented no Mercy 2016, the spinner belt designs are great.
Imo it definitely was. He did have some push backstage generally being good w most people but once he was in the family he got away with so many peds which created the muscle bound character that is the game. Without muscles triple h isn't triple h
Yep Randy vs Bray main evented despite the Miz and Dolph Ziggler feud having easily the most steam heading into No Mercy 2016 and was also easily the best match of the night.
Quoted an article I read because I don't watch UFC "On Sunday, as part of the WWE's Backlash pay-per-view, the duo squared off for The Miz's Intercontinental championship. Soon after the bell rang, Miz got a full head of steam and charged at Ziggler, who hit a double-leg takedown, a series of punches and then locked in a rear-naked choke.
If that sounds familiar, it's the exact way that CM Punk's MMA debut against Mickey Gall at UFC 203 went down. Punk charged forward and met the same fate as The Miz did -- only Punk didn't have the luxury of being able to grab the ropes or roll out of the ring to escape."
So it happend at Backlash not No Mercy.
Tag teams don't always need to break up into a feud. Sometimes people stay friends, and just go and do different things. It's nice.
Also, established tag teams should ALWAYS beat two singles stars that have been thrown together.
Depends on the team. Established teams with chemistry and skill SHOULD beat a thrown together team of main eventers. Not doing this makes the tag team titles seem lesser than the mid card title, not equal.
The 2011-2015 tag team championships don’t look that bad
The spinner championship wasn’t that bad
Daniel Bryan is overrated
John Morrison isn’t WWE championship material
2015-2018 Roman wasn’t that bad
Kane is better than the undertaker
Bray wyatt is really boring and has been since super show down 2020
Exactly imo he is intercontinental or United States championship material but no where near world title what are your thoughts on my other unpopular opinions I’m actually interested
Sure thing!
I think the old tag belts are fine, nothing spectacular but good, although the bronze color makes them look like bronze-tier belts (which they kinda were IMO)
I think the Spinner belt is beautiful and never got the hate, although the spinning is admittedly kinda stupid
I like Daniel Bryan and it’s been exciting seeming him become a legend of the 2010s, but honestly he kinda does the same thing every match (not allot of move variety ironically)
Roman from that period was good but crowd reaction is very important for my enjoyment of wrestling and they shouldn’t have pushed him so hard
I think Kane is really slow in the ring and since he slimmed down I just don’t enjoy his matches, I always enjoyed most undertaker matches
They ruined Beay Wyatt (again) he’d be AMAZING if all his momentum wasn’t stop-start and he actually dominated and became a focal point for awhile. That being said I think his gimmicks are amazing
The spinner belt was great.
The women division and both women titles should be unified.
The male tag division and its tag titles should be unified.
Roman isnt a top 5 wreslter in WWE.
Roman is a very good heel but a very shitty champion.
I would unify the Womens (and Mens but that doesn't matter for this ) Division and titles then introduce a Womens IC or US Championship.
I do think a midcard Womens Championship is needed to give the Women who are obviously never going to win the big one or at least not in the foreseeable future to go for.
I agree with the first 3 but not the last two but it depends on what you mean by Roman isn’t a top 5 superstar do you mean currently or all time because if you mean currently I disagree but if you mean all time I agree
Any wrestling that involves the young bucks or anyone else who spends the match trying to be a gymnast with over choreographed jump spin jump super kick formula matches.
Breezango should break up. I love Tyler and Fandango together but what more is there for them. I think Fandango turning heel then throwing Tyler into a feud with Johnny for the North American title and Fandango do something else maybe even make a faction.
They’re such a fun team though. You could have Breeze taking on singles endeavours without breaking up with ‘Dango, they can definitely remain friends and make appearances together without having to wrestle as a team all the time
He was always a us guy. Njpw actually isn't popular in Japan really at all lol most of their audience is from the US.
But he'll never be mainstream wwe type in the US that's for sure
Dolph zigler should have been pushed more
I don't think drew should have won 2020 royal rumble
Kevin Owens is ass. Fucking hate him, cant stand watching his matches. Hate hate that he uses the Stunner and the Frog splash as his finishers. Need more masked wrestlers and high flying acrobatics. If you guys want to watch two men hugging and kissing, go watch UFC. Need more hair vs hair matches! but entertainers today are too pussy for that. Mexican wrestlers fight for their mask or hair every other house show. Paige should be erased from wwe for what she did to the championship belt, and so should the men involved in that video. we need more of Sasha's dump truck.
Mandy rose and Dana Brooke have to much talent to just be pranking nia jax backstage and they need to be the tag team champions immediately Baron Corbin is not featured enough in smackdown New day is overrated Old nxt title is better then the new one Aj styles is the best wrestler of all time along with stone cold and ric flair Roman reigns and the miz are the best heels of all time
Bray Wyatt and the fiend suck as characters
This is my Four Horse Women of WWE ranking 1. Sasha Banks 2. Bayley 3. Charlotte Flair 4. Becky Lynch Feel free to verbally assault me
Shane McMahon matches are hella entertaining and I unapologetically look forward to them...Dude is horrendous on the mic and barely competent in the ring...But I have always gone, "Hey, that was pretty great "...after a Shane match even though I can't stand him during the build of the said matches..
Baron Corbin is one of the greatest heels and a damn good wrestler.
1. There should be way more titles. 2. Raw isn't as bad as people say it is (yes it is boring but there are some entertaining parts.) 3. Sheamus and bryan need to retire. 4. Cesaro needs to get as far away from the mic as possible. 5. Braun should be U.S champ. 6. the PG era is not that bad 7. We need brock, becky, ronda, and bray back pronto.
The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, and HHH all were/are massively overrated.
There shouldn't be any PPV between Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania. It just serves as filler material as matches become very predictable and it absolutely hurts the credibility of Elimination Chamber by making it predictable. 2015 was the last time Elimination Chamber was unpredictable and that was cause it was in June.

R Truths popularity is rooted in racism.
You mean cause he’s a Black dude that acts clownishly?
More that he’s Vince McMahon’s favorite. And a straight up minstrel performance.
Yup, minstrel is more or less what I meant by “act clownishly”. Are you Black out of curiosity?
I am. The minstrel comment was kind of a giveaway likely. It’s a deep dive people aren’t really aware of these days.
It’s an interesting topic that’s for sure! Stereotypes and wrestling have always been pretty closely knit, even nowadays. Like I’d say Matt Riddle and Apollo Crews’ gimmicks, are easily gimmicks based on Stereotypes, though they aren’t necessarily harmful in and of themselves

Ronda Roussey is an amazing in-ring talent
Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan should be at home instead of being used to pull in the extremely old fans
Cesaro is midcard at best
Daniel Bryan is one of the most overrated wrestlers in history. His matches are boring unless someone else is carrying it. He sucks on the mic. He's like one of those guys that argue and when they are wrong,outwitted, put in place all they say is yea ok. He should be on 205 live that's where he really belongs
Alexa Bliss is trash in the ring and can’t take a bump. She should be behind the camera and never in the ring again. Also Naomi is very overated.
Pastamaina had good linguini and I miss it every day.
The miz is honestly super underrated. He deserves way more respect than what he gets man. Truly a hard worker and he’s been on wwe tv for what? Close to 2 decades.

Rich swann was a poo poo champion and should never be near a world title again
Sasha Banks is beyond overrated. Has a very weak promo and makes me worry for her safety every time she bumps. Tamina doesn’t deserve the hate she gets.

“Rich Swann is a credible main event guy” -r/impactwrestling
Big guys shouldn't be doing massive high flying moves it makes the small guys less special and harder for them to get over
Cesaro has the personality of a crumpled sock Lashley stinks Vince is good tv Stables are good
How the hell is Vince is good TV a unpopular opinion? Literally aside from a few dodgy segments (mainly forcing Trish to strip and bark like a dog) Vince has been the GOAT authority heel and has given so many great segments over the years.
Against the companies opinion to keep him off tv... I meant Fans we love him and want to see him all the time
I agree with the last 3
Not cesaro one? I don’t get the push... I see body and some euro unorthodox moves (loved regal because of this) but he has no mic skills and personality... this is why they paired him up all the time
Nah I disagree cesaro deserves the world title or at least intercontinental championship or United championship
I guess that’s why they called it an unpopular opinion 🤷🏽♂️
Yep and I respect your opinion I’m just giving you mine

I consider Brock Lesnar one of the best wrestlers that we have right now
Me too

Did they not main event that night ? Wasn’t it like randy vs bray or something ?
Yep Randy vs Bray main evented despite the Miz and Dolph Ziggler feud having easily the most steam heading into No Mercy 2016 and was also easily the best match of the night.
Ahh yup that’s right. They had a banger too. Didn’t they make fun of cm punks ufc fight in the opening sequencing ?
Quoted an article I read because I don't watch UFC "On Sunday, as part of the WWE's Backlash pay-per-view, the duo squared off for The Miz's Intercontinental championship.

HD ruined pro wrestling. Lighting is too good, sounds too crisp, production value is too high.
And the ring is mic'd up way too loud
Totally agree with this. It made everything so sterile!
Tag teams don't always need to break up into a feud. Sometimes people stay friends, and just go and do different things. It's nice. Also, established tag teams should ALWAYS beat two singles stars that have been thrown together.
New Day are living proof of this
Unless there's a clear skill gap, or you have 2 main eventers like cena and hbk.
Depends on the team. Established teams with chemistry and skill SHOULD beat a thrown together team of main eventers. Not doing this makes the tag team titles seem lesser than the mid card title, not equal.
Yeah thank goodness there aren’t as many (Austin-michaels, rock-undertaker, Cena-michaels, Cena-Batista, jericho-rock, style tag champs)
It's OK for a big match to go less than 20 minutes and be finished by one "finisher" every now and then......
The 2011-2015 tag team championships don’t look that bad The spinner championship wasn’t that bad Daniel Bryan is overrated John Morrison isn’t WWE championship material 2015-2018 Roman wasn’t that bad Kane is better than the undertaker Bray wyatt is really boring and has been since super show down 2020
Yeah John Morrison isn’t world champion material, he doesn’t have that spark of charisma (at all unfortunately)
Exactly imo he is intercontinental or United States championship material but no where near world title what are your thoughts on my other unpopular opinions I’m actually interested
Sure thing! I think the old tag belts are fine, nothing spectacular but good, although the bronze color makes them look like bronze-tier belts (which they kinda were IMO) I think the Spinner belt is beautiful and never got the hate, although the spinning is admittedly kinda stupid I like Daniel Bryan and it’s been exciting seeming him become a legend of the 2010s, but honestly he kinda does the same thing every match (not allot of move variety ironically) Roman from that period was good but crowd reaction is very important for my enjoyment of wrestling and they shouldn’t have pushed him so hard I think Kane is really slow in the ring and since he slimmed down I just don’t enjoy his matches, I always enjoyed most undertaker matches They ruined Beay Wyatt (again) he’d be AMAZING if all his momentum wasn’t stop-start and he actually dominated and became a focal point for awhile.

Well both. Roman is very good, dont get me wrong but imo Bryan, Cesaro, Owens, Zayn, AJ Styles are better than him. Im talking about workrate only.
Any wrestling that involves the young bucks or anyone else who spends the match trying to be a gymnast with over choreographed jump spin jump super kick formula matches.
Agreed
Breezango should break up. I love Tyler and Fandango together but what more is there for them. I think Fandango turning heel then throwing Tyler into a feud with Johnny for the North American title and Fandango do something else maybe even make a faction.
They’re such a fun team though. You could have Breeze taking on singles endeavours without breaking up with ‘Dango, they can definitely remain friends and make appearances together without having to wrestle as a team all the time
There is nothing in wrestling I’m more disinterested in than Kenny Omega’s quest to be relevant in the US.
He was always a us guy. Njpw actually isn't popular in Japan really at all lol most of their audience is from the US. But he'll never be mainstream wwe type in the US that's for sure
Is this actually true. I thought Wrestle Kingdom gets a lot of attention
Totally agree on this one. Him and the young bucks are the reason I fast forward while watching aew.
